Disconnected: Understanding Alzheimer's Disease
by Connie Goldsmith“The common perception of Alzheimer’s from people who haven’t experienced it is that it’s more like a ‘quirk’ which all elderly people experience at some point. But Alzheimer’s is so much more than simple forgetfulness. With the memory loss comes confusion . . . What was once the bedroom turns into a frightening place . . . . They may not recognize family members and instead see them as strangers with unknown intentions. This gives them so much stress every day that they may lash out or become depressed.” —Charlie Poole, Alzheimer’s caregiver Alzheimer’s patients are one of the fastest-growing populations among aging communities in the United States. In 2024 roughly 6.9 million Americans aged sixty-five and older had Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050 that number is set to nearly double. An Alzheimer’s diagnosis affects more than just the patient—it impacts their family and friends too. As the disease progresses, the patient’s memory deteriorates, and their behavior may suddenly change. They may need more attention, care, and supervision. Many people are thrust into the role of a caregiver without preparation or knowledge of what's to come. In Disconnected: Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease, author and registered nurse Connie Goldsmith looks at the stages of Alzheimer’s, details current clinical research, and shares more than a dozen stories of patients and their families. No matter what age you are, it’s important to grow awareness for Alzheimer’s, recognize its signs and symptoms—and learn what you can do in the event that someone you love is diagnosed with the disease.
